Listening Party 2017

March 2, 2018, 10:00 pm

We invite some of our favorite musical friends to bring a new recording into the studio for listening, lively discussion and the joy of new discoveries. Seth sits down with violinist Doyle Armbrust and composers Kyong Mee Choi, Nomi Epstein, and Jeff Kowalkowski.

Relevant Tones is made possible by the generous support of the Aaron Copland Fund for Music, Inc.; Bruce Oltman; the Amphion Foundation; Alice M. Ditson Fund of Columbia University; and the listener supporters of WFMT.
